For countless millennia the High Elves of Ulthuan have kept watch over the Island of Blood. Shrouded in elven magic and impenetrable mists, its cruel, Chaos-warped peaks hide a wealth of dark secrets – including a powerful relic from the dawn of the Old World, known as the Phoenix Stone. Now, after centuries of vigilance, the elves’ worst nightmares have come true. Their defences have been breached and Warlord Skreet Verminkin, who leads a vast invasion force of skaven, has come to seize the Phoenix Stone for himself.
The elves call on their kin for aid, but even with legendary heroes fighting by their sides, they struggle to hold back such a monstrous horde. As tides of skaven smash through their defences, the elves realise they have only one hope – they must tap into the dark magic at the island’s core and unleash the very power they have sworn to suppress.
